WoodWing has become one of the first to announce Adobe CC-compatible versions of its plug-ins… and yes, you can acquire them by subscription.

A new version of the Smart Styles productivity plug-in also includes new features, in addition to compatibility with InDesign CC and InCopy CC. WoodWing says it will also provide a new version of its Enterprise multichannel publishing system this year, supporting Creative Cloud products.
